“Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17

“Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). The text today says, “By investing in our friendships and interacting in an honest way, we create the sort of relationships that allow us to speak into each other's lives and keep accountable.… A few surface- level conversations will not accomplish sharpening. Devotion to one another through thick and thin, honesty, and integrity are needed for us to help refine each other. We must be willing to speak truth, but also put in the tough work of walking with each other through the growing process.“ One of our greatest investments in life is in others, so let us work to cultivate RElationships that make us better, not bitter.

John 13

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John‬ ‭13‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭KJV‬‬).

REflection from Addicted to Busy by Brady Boyd

Today we BEgin “Addicted to Busy” by Brady Boyd. The topic today is “Impression Management”. Boyd says, “Oh, the things we do in the name of impression management. We all want to be important. We all want our little lives to count. And yet we’re going about it in entirely the wrong way.” He goes on to say, “Jesus said that all our boasting may get us some things, but it won’t get us the one thing we truly seek, which is the soul-filling love of our Father, the sense that we’re acceptable as we are…. Jesus says we are to work on the inner self, spending our energies developing things such as a gentle spirit, which, according to 1 Peter 3:4, is ‘of great worth in God’s sight’”. Let us not focus on what things look like from the outside, but focus on what makes us BEtter and draws us closer to Christ on the inside. We are our own most precious commodity. Let us work to grow BEtter with time and not busy our selves wasting time.

Esther 4:14

As the saying goes, closed mouths don’t get fed. Let us not allow our silence to block us from God using us to BE a blessing. Speak up for what is right even if it feels wrong.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
